Dead Nation: New Zombie Survival Guide Trailer

With zombies coming at you from every angle in Dead Nation, you’ll need to know the basics of surviving the zombie apocalypse! Watch the Zombie Survival Guide below:

Dead Nation offers up a variety of weapons to tackle the different zombie types that are after your brains. The combination of the Rifle’s power and accuracy is effective for taking out the big zombies coming at you from a distance. Use your Shotgun when entering tight alleyways and crossing bridges to ensure you stop anything coming at you. Surrounded by a horde of zombies? Whip out that SMG and spray those bullets all directions. And of course there’s my personal favorite: light ‘em up with the flamethrower and watch as a single burning zombie turns into a walking forest fire!

Now don’t forget to use the environment and your secondary weapons as distractions. You can fire at vending machines and watch the zombies run towards the spitting cans dispensing from the machine making themselves easy targets for you and your SMG. Now imagine laying a mine down in front of that machine before setting it off: Zombies will rush right up to it and then BOOM!

There will be droves of zombies coming after you in Dead Nation. Use the strategies mentioned above in your arsenal but remember: How you take out the zombie apocalypse in your quest for the cure is up to you. Stay alive and happy hunting!

Also, just checked out the reviews.
And to people whining that this game sounds like every other Zombie game out there — uhm, DUH??? Zombie games have been chewed up and regurgitated in different forms for years now. Just chill out and enjoy the gameplay, rather than the story.

It looks like it’s gonna be an original game to me! I definitely haven’t seen anything like this. Not with those graphics, anyways. And that diversion (like shooting the car to distract the zombies) seemed like an interesting tactic.

But it’s just a trailer!
The actual video game will probably (or hopefully, really) have more!

Has this game got status updates? Don’t know if that’s the right word but what i mean is like Modern warfare 2, it tells you what levels your friends are playing, different modes etc..
example (DEAD NATION playing co-op in New york) If not please add this feature its very useful.
Thanks.

Man the PSN network just decided to shoot out games I want to buy this fall. I’ve already decided to skip Scott Pilgrim for now, Shank is coming soon, then Castle Crashers is getting close, then Dead Nation. Thats a lot of $20 PSN cards I need to buy.

A question about the rendering: why don’t the flaming zombies emit light on the ground underneath them? Everything else looks great, including the muzzle flashes on the gun, but that missing detail stand out to me.

What’s the load you guys are putting on the SPUs right now? Are they all active?

Can we look forward to 24-bit HD audio for the explosions, collisions, and things?

The graphics look great, but so far it too closely resembles the other multiple twin stick zombie shooters I already own on PSN… I am going to need a demo to convince me this game is different enough for me to purchase. Zombie stuff, especially in video games lately, is becoming so passe. They fail to excite or shock me much anymore. Just sayin’.

Played this at E3 with a member of the development team at Sony’s meeting room/lounge. The lighting was really impressive, as was the stability of the engine. The framerate didn’t dip even with hundreds of enemies on screen. You could definitely see the SSHD influence in the control scheme, it handled very nicely! Can’t wait to review this.

Huge mistake not having online coop. I can’t understand how soo many of these games are built perfectly for it but don’t include it. This looks so much better than Zombie Apocalypse, and that game had 4 player coop. This might get passed on by a lot of people.
